In a cattle farm in East China's Shandong Province, there were several cases of anthrax, which have raised the public's attention. Chinese expert Zhang Wenhong said it is crucial to address the potential contamination of anthrax bacillus in the environment, including implementing effective disinfection measures and monitoring.
 

Zhang, director of the infectious diseases department at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, highlighted the importance of prioritizing the safe disposal of diseased animals and administering anthrax vaccines for animals in affected areas to prevent further spread of the disease, via an article released by Huashan Hospital's WeChat account on Sunday.
 

Five farm workers who had direct contact with the infected livestock were diagnosed with cutaneous anthrax, displaying mild symptoms. They have all been isolated and are receiving treatment, and the remaining close contacts have been strictly monitored, with no further infections reported, according to a statement released by Yanggu county, Shandong Province on Friday.
 

Humans can become infected through contact with diseased animals or animal products. Anthrax is treatable as a bacterial infectious disease, and high-dose antibiotics are effective in treating it, according to the article released by Huashan Hospital on Sunday.
